[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 737619, member: 21149"] Hi. LADA is effectively T1 and the right insulin regime is Basal/Bolus unless your LADA is early days. On Basal/Bolus you don't always need up to 5 injections per day. For example I have one Basal dose at night i..e not split and have my Bolus for lunch and dinner. As the Basal has a peak in the morning I don't need to Bolus for breakfast as this is usually low-carb. That totals 3 injections. I may have more if I have if I have a large snack of carby breakfast. Carb-counting with Basal/Bolus means you can decide exactly how much you are going to eat each day and you can avoid hypos if you keep things under control. I haven't had a hypo in the 2 years since insulin although been near one a few times. [/QUOTE]
